Perlin is a decentralized marketplace that makes use of underutilized computational power in everyday smart-devices to make supercomputing accessible.

Perlin: About the Platform

Perlin is a blockchain AI-focused startup that is working with redundant power in common smart devices. In essence, it is the idea of cryptojacking - making use of the extra power that your smartphone can provide, only with Perlin it is not done in an illicit fashion:

The very first use of the cloud computing platform that is developed by Perlin is going to be a socially economic initiative - a January 2019 hackaton called “AI 4 All” organized by leading tech organizations of India and Indonesia with the aim to use cutting-edge technology for helping poor communities in both organizing countries and globally.

Wavelet Ledger

The distributed ledger that Perlin uses is called Wavelet.

Wavelet promises far higher throughput than common public blockchains, benchmarking results are not yet ready though.

It runs on a proof-of-stake algo, but the computational layer takes from DAG (directed acyclic graph, made famous by IOTA).

It is Sybil-resistant with a privacy layer and made for dApp development.

The transaction throughput could be up to whopping 1300 tx per second. That is the top range promised in the whitepaper of the consensus protocol that Perlin uses. Copy of the whitepaper is linked from the Documents section; the protocol is called Avalanche and is relatively very new with last reviews of the paper from May 2018.

Wavelet has been running on testnet since October 2018 and is currently undergoing benchmarking before the computational layer goes live in early 2019.
